Over the next couple of weeks, Byakuya took Gin to a mountain retreat. Gin called Aizen and stated that Rangiku thought it would be a good idea to go to the mountains to get away from the city for a while.
Aizen thought it was a great idea and that he will be home in about three weeks. He would call when he was on his way home. Gin acted elated as he tried to convince Aizen to hurry home. When she hung up the phone, Byakuya started to kiss Gin on his neck.
"You don't play fair," Gin started giggling as she laid on the bed. Byakuya started kissing her all over. Gin slowly gave in and the two made love.
The group fell in love with Gin because she made Byakuya happy. They became just as protective over her as Byakuya did.
They knew Aizen would be coming back and that Gin would have to get out soon. They also knew that she must have an out before Byakuya and hope she sticks with her plan.
After their time in the mountains, they had to come back because Aizen was a few days out. It was hard for Gin to be away from Byakuya but they all knew this romance was not part of either of their plans.

On the day of Aizen's arrival that afternoon, he called Gin and also called Kyoraku. He want to let Kyoraku know that his company's service would not be needed since it is about a month to the wedding. Gin would be living at his home and preparing their life together. Kyoraku told Aizen that was the agreement when they took the job. He told Aizen that he would send Mr. Kuchiki with the phones that were given to us. They will wipe them with the code you gave me. Is there a particular time he can come with the phones. Aizen said about one. When Kyoraku hung up the phone, he told Rukia to begin wiping phones and notifying the staff that it was time for them to move out.
Kyoraku was about to go and speak to Byakuya when Ukitake who was sitting across from him stopped him.
"I will go and speak with him. You know he is hurting but he has to understand that Gin's group had been in longer than we were. If we were not involved, they have made a way out for her." Ukitake got up and hugged Kyoraku. "I guess we have to stay on our plan and hopefully those two will meet up soon." Ukitake left the room.
He caught Byakuya sitting at his desk but he had turned his chair to look out the window. He knew Ukitake was in the room.
"You know Byakuya, out of all of our children, you are the only one who tries to hide your heart. You will right a wrong at the expense of your happiness. I know it took all you had to let Gin go and complete her mission. You, who have always been in control, now have to follow the one you love. It not easy but you have to trust she knows what she is doing. Don't put her in danger."
Byakuya smiled and looked at his guardian. "You always knew what to say to get me back on track." He hugged Ukitake and asked him to get the staff together.
At Aizen's office
Gin sat on the edge of the desk playing with his tie and giving him light kisses on his lips and face. She was giggling which made Aizen at ease. The buzzer sounded and Aizen pushed the button. The voice stated that Mr. Kuchiki and Associates have arrived.
"Good," Aizen said and he looked at Gin, "Send them in."
The door opened and a guard came in followed by Byakuya and Rangiku. She was carrying a box with the phones that was used for the job. They both bowed to Aizen and Gin. Gin jumped off the desk running to Rangiku.
"Hey Rangiku," Gin stopped and looked at Aizen guard, "where are your manners, please take the box from my friend."
The guard quickly took the box and then Gin started to hug Rangiku. She looked into Gin's eyes and saw a sense of reassurance that she was okay. She then looked at Byakuya, who was in a stoic stance and did not look at Gin. Rangiku looked over and saw that Byakuya's fist was balled. She looked back at Gin who was trying to keep smiling.
"Well, let's go over here while they finish up their business." Gin smiled as she pulled Rangiku to the other part of the office where she had some presents waiting. The two started giggling more like girlfriends than business associates.
Aizen and Byakuya were finalizing the termination contract when Gin started laughing. Then she looked at Aizen and apologized.
"I'm sorry but Rangiku talked about a dress that I picked for her. She told me it was hideous," Gin said as she and Rangiku continued to laugh.
Aizen smiled as he looked at the two. "They have become close."
Byakuya continued to read over the paperwork as he spoke. "They are close enough that Gin asked her to be in the wedding, something like a maid or matron of honor." He spoke in his monotone voice.
Gin was smiling as she spoke. "I want you to give this to Rukia and Momo."
It was two presents wrapped in a blue paper and a white bow. The gifts were about the same size. As she handed it to Rangiku, she touched Gin's hand and squeezed it. Gin continued to stay calm and gave her a reassured look. Then she went to her purse and brought out a hairclip.
"I know it is not like the one my fiancé gave me but it was as close as I could get it. It looked so beautiful in your hair that I wanted you to have this." Gin placed the clip in her hair and they both hugged. They started to cry.
"Sweetheart, are you okay?" Aizen asked Gin with a look of concern.
"I don't know why I'm crying. She, Momo and Rukia are going to be in my wedding. I will see them again." Gin wiped her eyes and started to smile again.
Aizen looked at Byakuya. He looked Aizen and made a comment something about women.
As they were wrapping thing up, the secretary buzzed in. Aizen picked up the phone and listened. He pushed the mute button and called to Gin.
"Gin, have you been in contact with your landlord?"
"No," Gin said slowly. She then remembered that she was supposed to get in contact with her landlord to end the lease. She needed to get some pictures and small mementos from her childhood. "I have to go and get some things."
"I can send for your things," Aizen said as he signals for the guard.
"No, I have to go. I do have some things in a hidden place and like any other woman, I do have my secrets." Gin had made her way to him and gave him a kiss. "I tell you what, your guards can come with me. You can send that new one with us also. What's her name, Sui, Sui Feng? She can come with me. But don't worry Rangiku, she will never replace you." Gin looked at her and winked.
Aizen unmuted the phone and told his secretary to tell the landlord that Gin will be arriving this afternoon to remove personal items. "Tell the landlord not to let anyone in her room. When she is through, it will be released. And yes, send in Sui Feng."
Byakuya was through with the inventory and paperwork. He turned to Rangiku and nodded to let her know that all is well. He saw Gin looking at him. He balled his fist and walked to her. He bowed to her and said that it was an honor to provide security for her. Byakuya reached out for Rangiku for them to leave. She gave Gin one last hug and stated that will be in contact.
They left the office. As they were leaving they passed a woman. They figured it was Gin's new bodyguard.
As they rode back to the office, Byakuya sat in silence. Rangiku knew he was hurting but she place her hand on his.
"She is strong and she is going to be fine," she told Byakuya.
He smiled at her and she placed her head on his shoulder. They rode the rest of way in silence.

Gin was sitting at the waiting area with three bodyguards. She was looking around because it had been almost a year since she had been in the train station. She looked over and saw Sui Feng looking at her with a discussed look.
"I do not see what Mr. Aizen sees in you." Sui Feng said loud enough that only they could hear each other.
At first, Gin smiled at her then her smile went to an evil grin. She spoke loud enough for only her to hear. "I don't give a damn what you think of me. Mr. Aizen hired you to do a job. I suggest you do your fuckin' job or I will tell Mr. Aizen you are incapable of doing your job. I even know how Mr. Aizen handles incompetent employees." Gin's sat back and smile. She looked toward the bathroom.
"Sui Feng, let's go. I have to go to the restroom. And I know that you have to go with me."
Gin got up and started to walk towards the ladies room. Three ladies wearing Brazilian Soccer uniform were also going in the bathroom. The first lady walked in, then Gin walked in. The second lady walked in front of Sui Feng. The last lady walked in. She placed a 'Do Not Enter – Bathroom Cleaning' sign at the door.
Gin went into a stall next to the first lady. Then suddenly, the second lady kicked Sui Feng back into the third lady who caught Sui Feng and placed a needle into her neck. She tried to struggle but the drug took over and soon she became limp in the third ladies arms.
The two women began to place her in a stall. While they setting up the scene, the first woman came out and knocked on the stall door.
"Gin, it's clear," the woman spoke. Gin opened the door and smile.
"Hello, Yoruichi," Gin walked to her as she gave her the bag with a change of clothes. "Thanks for picking these up from the drop point."
"No, problem. Your support team was great in keeping us in the loop. Now, you have less than four minutes to get on the train. You know they will see us but not you. When we leave, the next phase will start. You have to time it just right."
Gin was putting on the red wig and as the group was getting Sui Feng tied in the stall. Gin dressed with the fake breast. Gin complained that her breast must be growing because they were sore. She put in fake contacts to disguise her eyes. She placed her clothes she had on in the back pack and then put on the shades.
"Gin are you alright? You look flushed," Yoruichi asked as she placed a hand to Gin's face.
"Yeah, must have been something I ate. But I'm okay." Gin said as she gave herself on last look. "You better get going because they are waiting on your queue." Gin watch the second lady crawl from under the locked stall. She locked two because it would slow down anyone who comes in after they leave. They were washing their hand and making sure they did not leave any evidence.
The three hugged Gin and turned to leave when Yoruichi told Gin that Sui Feng will be out for at least twelve hours. "She won't remember a thing."
Gin nodded when she was ready. She pulled out the phone and type a code in. She waited for a signal.
BOOM!
That was the signal. She walked out of the bathroom and made sure the sign was gone. She walked out as the confusion started with a hoard of people trying to get out of the building. She pushed forward and was able to get out of building. She was one of the last to be able to get on the train.
Gin rode the train for three stops. She got off and waited. She pulled out her phone to make a call.
-#-
Byakuya was sitting in the security room with Ichigo and Rukia. The Department of Transportation video system has gone offline. She was trying to find out why. Suddenly Rangiku's phone started to ring. It ranged twice and stopped. She thought Gin was trying to call her because that was the system they came up with if she ever wanted to talk to her. She did not recognize the number.
The next thing that happened was one camera started to come in on Rukia's monitor. It was a secure and direct feed. It showed a people getting off the train but one woman with red hair was standing in front of the camera on the phone. Rangiku thought she recognized her. Rangiku was about to say something when her phone ranged again. She decided to pick up.
"Hello," she answered.
"Hey," a small voice said. "Can you see me?"
She looked closer at the monitor. She recognized it was Gin in the red wig that she bought a while back. She realized that Gin wanted to make sure that Rangiku saw and would be able to recognize her in that wig and no one else.
Then Gin spoke but did not call any names. "Is he there?"
Rangiku looked behind her and saw Byakuya staring at the screen. She knew that Byakuya could tell it was Gin. She slowly handed the phone to him. He took a deep breath and spoke.
"Hello"
"You were not supposed to get in the way."
Byakuya stayed compose but his heart started to get in the way of his emotions. He started to reach for the screen as if he could touch her. "No matter what, I told you I would find you."
"I can't hold this signal long. It is erasing as we speak. I love you." Gin held a hand up to her heart.
"I love you too," Byakuya said as he watch Gin start to fade from the monitor.
They watched Gin take the phone and punch in some numbers. Then she waived to them and the screen went blank.
Gin punched in another code and threw the phone away. It started to smoke as she walked away.
Rukia tried to find a signal but it was gone. As she kept typing she told Ichigo to find a back door to get the signal Gin was on. As they were searching, Momo came into the room with laptop in her hand.
"Why did Gin send this to me? I don't do computers."
Rukia looked at Momo and then she looked at her present. She opened it and it was a hard drive. Rukia told Ichigo to stop searching because they were not going to find her. She as Rangiku what did Gin give her. She took the hair clip out of her hair and handed it to Rukia. She looked at it and pulled it apart. It revealed to be a flash drive.
"Ichigo, put these together but wait before you turn it on. I will show you why. I think I know who and why Gin sent this to us."
Kyoraku grabbed Byakuya and pulled him aside. He knew Byakuya was ready to go after Gin. "You are going to have to wait. If she was in any danger, she would have let you know. She wants you to find her, not rescue her. The only thing now is Aizen is going to call you and ask you to find her. You are going to convince him that we are on the move and it is very limited for what we can do. Byakuya, to help Gin, we are going to have to delay Aizen."
Byakuya nodded in agreement as he tried to keep the last vision of Gin on his mind.
"Brother, Boss," Rukia shouted, "Come here. I got something to show you."
Everyone was in the room when they arrived. They were all staring at the laptop monitor.
On the screen was a digital Skull and Cross bones. Underneath was the word Cyanide.
"Brother remember when you found me and Ichigo. I was the second best and Ichigo was third best hackers. Remember our handles. Who was the best hacker out there that you could not catch?"
Byakuya thought and looked at the screen and smiled. "Gin is Cyanide."
"What Gin did here is not for personal gain. She gave us everything needed to bring Aizen Corporation down, especially Sosuke Aizen himself. Rukia, I think you and Ichigo got a lot of material to go through. I think we have become part of the organization." Byakuya turned and walked out of the room.

Gin was walking down small road that was not a lot of traffic. It was starting to get dark and Gin wanted to get to the first check point. She wanted to get out of this disguise because her chest started to hurt and she was very tired. She thought Byakuya and his crew has seen all of the information and found out she was a in the cyber world.
Suddenly a voice came out of nowhere.
"Giiiiiiiiiinaaaaa" the voice said softly.
Gin stopped because now someone was following her. She started to walk again. She started to look for the knife she carried in the pocket. She wrapped her hands around the knife and picked up her pace.
"Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiinaaaa," the voice said again.
Gin felt as though she was going to pass out. She started running. She heard someone running behind her. The steps seemed to have out run Gin's step. Suddenly a hand caught her shoulder.
"Gina!"
